WHAT IS GUPPY ??


What is Guppy ? 

The guppy (Poecilia reticulata), also known as the millionfish , is one of the
most popular freshwater aquarium fish species in the world. It is a small member
of the Poeciliidae family [females 4–6 centimetres (1.6–2.4 in) long, males
2.5–3.5 centimetres (1.0–1.4 in) long] and like all other members of the family
is live-bearing.




 Male Guppy


 Female Guppy



Guppies exhibit sexual dimorphism. While wild-type females are grey in body
colour, males have splashes, spots, or stripes that can be any of a wide variety
of colors.




In the aquarium

The guppy prefers a hard water aquarium with a temperature between 25.5 and 27.8
°C (78 and 82 °F) and salt levels equivalent to one tablespoon per 5 US gallons
(19 l; 4.2 imp gal). They can withstand levels of salinity up to 150% that of
normal seawater,which has led to them being occasionally included in marine
tropical community tanks, as well as in freshwater tropical tanks. Guppies are
generally peaceful, though nipping behaviour is sometimes exhibited between male
guppies or towards other top swimmers like platys and swordtails, and
occasionally other fish with prominent fins, such as angelfish. Guppys shouldn't
be kept as a single fish in an aquarium because both males and females show
signs of shoaling, and are usually found in large groups in the wild. Its most
famous characteristic is its propensity for breeding, and it can breed in both
fresh water and marine aquariums.Guppies bred by aquarists produced variations
in appearance ranging from colour consistency to various tail forms.

Well-fed adults do not often eat their own young, although sometimes safe zones
are required for the fry. Specially designed livebearer birthing tanks, which
can be suspended inside the aquarium, are available from aquatic retailers.
These also serve to shield the pregnant female from further attention from the
males, which is important, because the males will sometimes attack the females
while they are giving birth. It also provides a separate area for the newborn
young as protection from being eaten by their mother. However, if a female is
put in the breeder box too early, it may cause her to have a miscarriage.
Well-planted tanks that offer a lot of barriers to adult guppies will shelter
the young quite well. Guppy grass, water sprite, water wisteria, duckweed, and
java moss are all excellent choices. A continuous supply of live food, such as
Daphnia, or Brine Shrimp will keep adult fish full and may spare the fry when
they are born.
